Answer:
<em>Correct choice: b 4H</em>
Explanation:
<u>Conservation of the mechanical energy</u>
The mechanical energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy GPE (U) and the kinetic energy KE (K):
E = U + K
The GPE is calculated as:
U = mgh
And the kinetic energy is:

Where:
m = mass of the object
g = gravitational acceleration
h = height of the object
v = speed at which the object moves
When the snowball is dropped from a height H, it has zero speed and therefore zero kinetic energy, thus the mechanical energy is:

When the snowball reaches the ground, the height is zero and the GPE is also zero, thus the mechanical energy is:

Since the energy is conserved, U1=U2
![\displaystyle mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \qquad\qquad [1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20mgH%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dmv%5E2%20%20%20%20%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%5B1%5D)
For the speed to be double, we need to drop the snowball from a height H', and:

Operating:
![\displaystyle mgH'=4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2 \qquad\qquad [2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20mgH%27%3D4%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dm%28v%29%5E2%20%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%5B2%5D)
Dividing [2] by [1]

Simplifying:

Thus:
H' = 4H
Correct choice: b 4H
Answer:
The maximum speed of sonic at the bottom of the hill is equal to 19.85m/s and the spring constant of the spring is equal to (497.4xmass of sonic) N/m
Energy approach has been used to sole the problem.
The points of interest for the analysis of the problem are point 1 the top of the hill and point 2 the bottom of the hill just before hitting the spring
The maximum velocity of sonic is independent of the his mass or the geometry. It is only depends on the vertical distance involved
Explanation:
The step by step solution to the problem can be found in the attachment below. The principle of energy conservation has been applied to solve the problem. This means that if energy disappears in one form it will appear in another.
As in this problem, the potential and kinetic energy at the top of the hill were converted to only kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. This kinetic energy too got converted into elastic potential energy .
x = compression of the spring = 0.89
Answer:
For H2O, there is one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen. A molecule can be made of only one type of atom. In its stable molecular form, oxygen exists as two atoms and is written O2. to distinguish it from an atom of oxygen O, or ozone, a molecule of three oxygen atoms, O3.
Explanation:
Answer:
This process is known as static electricity
Explanation:
When balloon is rubbed on the wool , a negative charge is usually formed. When the balloon is then held over—but not touching—some bits of paper, some of the bits jump up to the balloon. The bits which jump up to the balloon are positive charged and we know that unlike charges attract.
This process explains static electricity which is when the charges on a material are not in a balanced state.
No, because the energy is the capacity for performing work. Gravity is the force that draws everything to the earth's center.
